UNGER, the man who deliberately muir
dered his friend for his money, and then cut
his body up to avoid detection, has been
convicted of msnslaughter in New York
and sentenced to the penitentiary. The
wonder is that under the existing jury sys-
tenn murders for money are not more num-
erous than they are.

Flour is quiet and the receipts are liberal, but
there does not seem to be any disposition shown
by either holders OF stocks or mliers to make
further concessions in figures especially on high
grades on account of the scarcity of prime mill
ing Wheats. The grain markets may be noted
steady, owing to the muddy condition of the
country roads and the offerings on Change con-
tinue very small. Wheat is without material

CATARRH?
IFrom The Mail fconl. Dec. 15th.l

From the Mail CAM Dec. 15th.]
OtATARRH is A MUCO-PURULENT DIS
" charge caused 10y the presence and devel-
opment of a vegetable parasite in the internal
lining membrane OF the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circumstances
and these are: Morbid state of tho blood, as
the blighted corpuscle of tubercle, the germ
poison of mercury, toxomea, from the retention
of the effete matter of the skin, suppressed per
spiration, badly ventilated sleeping apartments
and other poisons that are terminated in the
blood. These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in a constant state of If
ritation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds
of these germs, which spread up the noatrils
and down the fauces, or back of the throat,
causing liberation of the throat; up the eu-
stachian tubes, causing deafness; burrowing in
the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping
the proper structure of the bronchial tubes, end
ing in pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cur this
distressing disease by the use of inhalents,
medicated vapors and other ingenious devices
but none of these treatments can do a particle
of good until the parasites are either destroyed
or removed from the mucus tissue.
Some time since a well-known physician of
forty years standing, after much experiment
ing, succeeded in discovering the necessary
combination of ingredients which never fail in
absolutely and permanently Graduating this
horrible disease, whether standing for one year
or forty years Those who may be suffering
from the above disease should, without delay,
communicate with Mr.. DIXON, SR., of the
firm of A. d. Dixon & Son, Toronto, Canada,
who is on a short visit to this Coast, and can be
consulted at the GOLDEN EAGLE HOTEL, Sac
ramento, EVERY WEDNESDAY EVENING,
from to o clock, and all day EVERY THURS
DAY until further notice. ap2-ned
